Used oil tanker prices top newbuilds as Hormuz rerouting tightens shipping
  • Prices for used 15-year-old oil tankers are above new-build prices as the U.S.-Iran conflict forces shipping lines to bypass the Strait of Hormuz.
  • Long delivery times for new tankers are pushing owners toward older vessels, which lifts secondhand values.
  • The source reports demand for vessels is high, but it does not provide tanker price levels or transaction data.
